The Somerset Levels were the subject of one of 2020VISION£s two main wetland iWitness assignments. The Levels contain some of the most important wetland habitat in Britain, supporting a rich biodiversity of national and international importance and including 32 Sites of Special Scientific Interest.


2020 photographers Guy Edwardes, Paul Harris, Ross Hoddinott, and Nick Upton worked closely with the Somerset Wildlife Trust and the Avon Wildlife Trust to document their Living Landscape projects, which are working to restore, recreate and reconnect wildlife habitats across this valuable area of wetland.
